J-pop star Akase Akari has fallen head over heels for the protagonist of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, Maki Zenin. In her latest cosplay, the My Dress Up Darling singer channels the cool and badass supporting character from the series. Akari perfectly captures Maki’s essence, donning her second-year Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform and wielding her signature naginata polearm weapon.
Maki Zenin is known for her incredible physical strength and mastery of weapons, making her a formidable jujutsu sorcerer despite not being able to see curses. She is hailed as the best cursed tool user at Tokyo Jujutsu High and shares a close bond with Toge Inumaki, Panda, and the JJK0 protagonist, Yuta Okkotsu.
Akari’s Maki Zenin cosplay is just one of her many impressive anime character portrayals. She has also cosplayed as Makima from Chainsaw Man, Shikimori from Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie, Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura, Yor from Spy x Family, and Kaguya from Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
Akase Akari gained popularity after performing the ending song, “Koi no Yukue,” for the My Dress Up Darling anime. Her portrayal of the series’ protagonist, Marin Kitagawa, in the song’s official music video captured the hearts of many anime enthusiasts.
